Magnaura Cafe & Restaurant

May 6, 2010 00:39 by haci

While at first glance Magnaura Café might appear much the same as the other tourist-oriented restaurants on Akbiyik Caddesi, it stands out for its excellent food and service. The menu ranges from Turkish and Ottoman cuisine to international standards. Particularly notable are the steaks—the Marble Steak is grilled and served with flaming cognac, while the Bogaziçi Steak is marinated with vegetables in a terra-cotta pot—and Pasha Tavuk, chicken breast marinated in white wine and cream and served with vegetables. Far greater attention is given to presentation than in most Sultanahmet restaurants. There's also a cozy rooftop terrace with a partial view of the Marmara Sea.
